1. The media is entertainment. They try to turn everything into entertainment.
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 12:23 AM by Sarah Ibarruri
They also tell us how to vote, and eliminate our candidates when they feel like it. When are we going to have a Congress that cracks the whip on these corporate media idiots?

9. I am a hard core hillaryite

but I am not enthused about their campaign tactics.

obama's acceptance speeches are truly invigorating. he
literally gives me goosebumps.

but what is he going to do? HOW is he going to end this unlawful
war? HOW is he going to help the poor?

11. Yes, it's very frustrating but don't you wish the media would stay out of it and let the candidates
say what they will and campaign in peace? Don't you wish the media didn't attack first one candidate, then the other, then the first one again, then the 2nd? I'd like to kick the media's @$$ and see how they like that. After all, wasn't it the media for years that supported GW Bush?

19. Check out his website. He has plans and policies.
Not as good as Edwards, to be sure, but he has them.

2. I am white and female
Would I vote HRC in a two person field? Nope. And it is foolish to think people just vote gender and/or race.

3. The Two Front-Runners...
should have seen this coming and stopped the media in its tracks. But they are both blind with ambition and would sacrifice ANYTHING to gain the Oval Office...I thought that we were smarter than this.

8. I know
they can't get past the fact that grumpy old white men won't be leading this nation. The candidates have never been this diverse and they just can't seem to grasp it. Maybe they are just in shock that the people of the United States can actually think for themselves, without their often one-sided $.02.

17. sure enough the mediawhores are enjoying tonight their big win
in south carolina.....but after tonight they will not be able to corrupt another state like they did to the people of south carolina. Talking about playing the race card. oh the mediawhores did right along with obama and his camp.....

I say enjoy tonight and sunday and monday cause even though florida does not have delegates to win you obama folks will get a taste of what is forthcoming on 2/5......

I would kust enjoy the hell out of a new mexico vote that hispanics voted 90% ofr hrc....and then in arizona that 90% once again, adn then in california on the 5th, 77% hispanic vote......

You see the mediawhores will not be able to mantipulate the hispanics like they did in south carolina....


what story would obama like to see coming out of south carolina? Obama wins south carolina with a huge black turnout....or
Obama wins south carolina with a larger white vote then expected.....well the mediawhores delivered for you......how by using some bogus polling that siad obama would only get 10% white vote....bogus bogus

20. You know, if someone other than a good Democrat was saying
what you are saying, I'd be calling him a racist asshole.

But, being a good Democrat, that can't be the case with you. So please clarify...


WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
